“Shhh,” he tells me as he strokes my hair. “Everyone will think you are miserable at the thought of carrying my child.”
A hiccupped giggle escapes me.
“It’s true,” he murmurs, and his hand slides down my arm, gliding over my skin. “They will say she is sorry that her khui has such poor taste as to mate a clever, beautiful girl with a fool like him.”
I snort at that. No one could ever accuse Aehako of being a fool. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I am not. There are twice as many unmated males as there are the human women. Do you not think me the luckiest of males that I would resonate for you? I do.”
I sigh, my tears drying because he’s so sweet. I love this man so much. He’s always seen me, even when no one else has. My flaws have never mattered to him – my smiles are the only thing that does.
“I’m the luckiest,” I tell him softly, and brush my fingers over the line of his jaw. He’s so very handsome, my mate. I’m getting even more aroused just looking up at his big, broad face and his glowing eyes, and the smile that curves his mouth. I lean up and kiss him, and his hands immediately tighten around my waist, holding me against him.
“Kira,” he says, and he sounds as breathless as I feel. His nose nudges mine before he takes my lower lip in his mouth and sucks on it. Oh god, he is way too good at kissing now. “When I take you this time, I will not be able to control myself. We will have long, tender nights of mating in our future. But I think now…if I do not sink inside you, I will lose my mind.” He presses his ridged forehead to my flat one and closes his eyes. A tremor rushes through him and I realize just how close he is to losing his control. Oh wow.
My response to that? I slide my hand down to the front of his breeches so I can trace the outline of his cock. His breath hisses from his lungs, and I’m practically flung off his lap in the next moment.
Giddy with need, I expect to have him tackle me. Instead, I watch as he savagely rips the cords of the blankets with his bare hands, snapping the sturdy leather like it’s nothing. He flings the blankets down onto the cave floor with unimaginable speed, and then turns to look at me, eyes blazing.
A shiver moves through me. He’s so…brutal with his need. That is so damn sexy.
Then, he reaches over to me and grabs the front of my dress, then pulls me forward for a savage kiss. Hot prickles of need skitter through me and I moan against his mouth, my hands going to his neck.
“My Kira,” he says roughly, and then pushes me onto my back, onto the furs. He jerks my skirts up around my thighs and the next thing I know, he’s face-down between my legs, his tongue seeking my clit.
A loud gasp of surprise escapes me.
He groans between my thighs, and I feel his tongue move over my sensitive flesh again. “You’re so wet.” He lifts his head and I see a feral gleam in his eyes as he licks his lips, shining with my juices.
Aehako rears back and rips at his loincloth. His cock emerges, a darker blue than the rest of him, the crown gleaming with pre-cum. I could stare at it for hours, but all I get is the briefest glimpse before he’s on top of me, and his hand moves to my hair. His mouth captures mine—
And then he sinks in completely, thrusting into me in one hard movement.
My cry is swallowed by his lips and his seeking tongue. I cling to him, because, oh God, the sensation of him inside me is making my khui go into overdrive. It feels as if everything inside me is vibrating, and that only makes Aehako’s cock feel that much better. I feel his spur rubbing against my clit, and my legs jerk, because I already feel like I’m about to come.
“Am I hurting you?” His voice is a gruff whisper against my jaw as he nips at my chin.
I manage a breathless shake of my head. “Feels good,” I tell him. ‘Good’ is perhaps an understatement, but I’m not sure that my lips will form around the words ‘earth shattering’。
His hips move and he pushes deep into me again. A moan escapes me, and my legs quake again. I’m going to come with just two thrusts, I know it. I raise my legs and lock them around his hips, just under his tail. Aehako growls again and thrusts once more, and I feel my khui hit a fever pitch with its humming. All I can hear is the song between us, and then as he sinks deep into me again, stars explode behind my eyes. I come, and come, and come…and I don’t stop. It feels as if I come forever when he thrusts into me with powerful, needy strokes. Then he groans my name and his body stiffens on top of me, and he comes inside me as my body clenches and quivers around him.
